This is the origin of Brunello, bottled. A wine that doesn’t chase trends; it creates them.
The Blueprint for Brunello
If you trace every great Brunello back to its source, you’ll find yourself here at the Il Greppo estate. This wine is a family legacy, a category-defining standard, and a lesson in how restraint can echo louder than opulence. While 2017 was a warm vintage, Biondi-Santi's high-altitude vineyards shaped it into something elegant, with a sculpted bouquet of sour cherry, blood orange, and dried rose petal.
The palate is taut, linear, and focused on energy more than lushness. Fermented in concrete and aged for three years in enormous old Slavonian oak casks, this is the blueprint of traditional Brunello. This bottle is the heartbeat of Montalcino.
How to Enjoy
This wine is not just meant to be opened; it is meant to be honored. Built for decades of aging, it should be served with reverence alongside simple, elegant dishes like roast game or aged cheeses.
